Fox's Kilmeade speculates that special counsel Robert Mueller is leaking to the press about the Russia probe
Brian Kilmeade: “Now we find out that there’s leaks coming, perhaps … from Robert Mueller”

Fox & Friends responded to reports that President Donald Trump is under investigation for possible obstruction of justice by attempting to smear special counsel Robert Mueller. Co-host Brian Kilmeade baselessly claimed that Mueller is leaking to the media, pointing to The Washington Post’s report (the Post cited “five people briefed on the interview requests" from Mueller's team, not Mueller himself or the FBI). Kilmeade and his co-host Ainsley Earhardt also attacked Mueller and his team as partisan, adding that Mueller “picked a bunch of Democratic donors” and hired “Democratic attorneys” for the investigation. A search of campaign donation records found that Mueller and two other members of his team have made no political donations, two have donated to Democrats, and one has donated to both Republicans and Democrats.
Media allies of Trump have been attacking Mueller since he was appointed special counsel, despite the fact that he is widely respected across the political spectrum.
